Build your Own City Project Introduction: Your group has been hired to create a city in the middle of West Texas. The plot of land you have been given has a river running directly north-south (y-axis), a railroad track running directly east-west (x-axis), and the major highway running diagonally through the city (y=x). Mark these on your poster paper. On Friday, you will present these to the class. You will need the following items on your paper: 1. Draw and label the following lines: a. River running at x=0 b. Railroad track at y=0 c. Major highway at y=x 2. Create 2 streets that have a positive slope. Name these streets and give the formula on the next page. 3. Create 3 streets that have a negative slope. Name these streets and give the formula on the next page. 4. Since cars cannot drive through water, identify the points where your streets cross the river (y-intercepts). A bridge will need to be built at these points. List these points on the next page. 5. It would be unsafe to cross a railroad crossing with no warning. Identify the points where your streets cross the railroad (x-intercepts). A railroad crossing sign will need to be put here. List these points on the next page. 6. It would also be unsafe for streets to cross a major highway without warning: Identify the points where your streets cross the major highway. You will need to put a stop light at these points. List these points on the next page. 7. Your city needs businesses in order to thrive. Businesses need to be placed in high traffic areas. Find 4 points of intersections between the streets you created. At these points, create 4 businesses to open here. List the point and the name of the business on your tracking sheet.
